After mass on a biting cold Sunday morning we drove downtown for delicious, high-quality versions of gravy and biscuits, bison hash, breakfast tacos, coffee and mimosas. All were made from excellent ingredients. Service was great. Lilac is for those who crave great food in a polished yet warm setting. Billings has a real foodie bright spot right across from the...

Dinner with a dear friend at one of the best local restaurants. Fantastic service, food beyond expectation along with an excellent glass of wine in a comfortable setting. Dessert alone is worth a visit.

Every course was a winner and the farro fried rice with pork belly was outstanding. We learnt that members of Lilac's team rotate through the various...

Excellent place to have a Sunday brunch! Different menu to choose from. We enjoyed excellent service and an excellent meal with smoked trout scrambled eggs and poached eggs with a delicious locally made sausage.
